The reconstructed face of 'Ava', a Bronze Age woman who lived in present-day Scotland, around 3700 years ago...

The woman's bones, including a skull and teeth, were discovered at Achavanich in Caithness in 1987. Known as "Ava", an abbreviation of Achavanich, she is the subject of a long-term research project managed by archaeologist Maya Hoole.

Forensic artist Hew Morrison, a graduate of University of Dundee, created the reconstruction, using specialist software.

Ava's remains, along with other artefacts found with her, are held in the care of Caithness Horizons museum in Thurso. Unusually, the Bronze Age woman was buried in a pit dug into solid rock and her skull is an abnormal shape which some suggest was the result of deliberate binding.

It is believed Ava was part of a much wider European group known as the Beaker people. Short and round skull shapes were common amongst this group, but Ms Hoole said the Achavanich specimen is exaggerated and of an abnormal, uneven shape.

Mr Morrison, a graduate of Dundee's Forensic Art MSc programme, specialises in creating facial reconstructions. He used an anthropological formula to calculate the shape of Ava's missing lower jaw, and also the depth of her skin. Mr Morrison also used a chart of modern average tissue depths for reference.

A specialist examination at the time of the discovery in the 1980s suggested that the skeletal remains were that of a young Caucasian woman aged 18-22. He said: "The size of the lips can be determined by measuring the enamel of the teeth and the width of the mouth from the position of the teeth."

Mr Morrison created the reconstruction by rebuilding the layers of muscle and tissue over the face. He drew on a large database of high resolution images of faces to recreate the facial features. The individual features were then adjusted to fit with the anatomy of the skull based on the underlying facial muscles. The features were then "morphed together", using computer software to create reconstructed face.

Mr Morrison said: "Normally, when working on a live, unidentified person's case not so much detail would be given to skin tone, eye or hair colour and hair style as none of these elements can be determined from the anatomy of the skull. "So, creating a facial reconstruction based on archaeological remains is somewhat different in that a greater amount of artistic licence can be allowed." He added: "I have really appreciated the chance to recreate the face of someone from ancient Britain. "Being able to look at the faces of individuals from the past can give us a great opportunity to identify with our own ancient ancestors."

Ms Hoole said: "When I started this project I had no idea what path it would take, but I have been approached by so many enthusiastic and talented individuals - like Hew - who are making the research a reality. "I'm very grateful to everyone who has invested in the project and I hope we can continue to reveal more about her life."

The Japanese officer slipped him a note in perfect English: ‘Hide this. You might not get it back next time.’ It was his Notre Dame ring—and his will to live.

This remarkable moment involved Mario "Motts" Tonelli, a celebrated football star from the University of Notre Dame.

His life took a dramatic turn when, serving as a U.S. Army soldier during World War II, he was captured by Japanese forces in the Philippines in 1942.

Tonelli was among those forced to endure the infamous Bataan Death March, a brutal ordeal of extreme cruelty and suffering.

His trials continued for over three years in harsh Japanese slave labor camps, where he faced starvation, disease, and unrelenting conditions.

During his captivity, Tonelli's cherished Notre Dame gold class ring, a symbol of his achievements and identity, was taken from him by a guard.

In an extraordinary and unexpected act, a Japanese officer, reportedly a graduate of the University of Southern California who recognized the ring's significance, secretly arranged for its return to Tonelli. 💍

Later in his imprisonment, in another almost unbelievable twist, Tonelli was assigned the prisoner identification number 58.

This was the very same number he had proudly worn on his football jersey while playing for the Fighting Irish at Notre Dame. 🏈

Tonelli regarded this coincidence, along with the miraculous return of his ring, as profound signs that provided him with immense hope and the strength to keep fighting for survival.

He also worked to maintain morale among his fellow prisoners, becoming a quiet leader in the face of despair.

Mario Tonelli survived the war, carrying with him the powerful memories of his ordeal and the symbols that helped him endure the darkest of times. 💪

His story remains a testament to human resilience and the profound impact of hope discovered in the most unexpected circumstances.

In 2007, German paraglider Ewa Wiśnierska was sucked into a storm and pulled to an altitude higher than Mount Everest. 🏔️

She was in New South Wales, Australia, conducting a training flight for the upcoming World Paragliding Championships.

Without warning, a massive storm system, a cumulonimbus cloud, developed and trapped her inside its violent updrafts.

Ewa was rocketed upwards at incredible speeds, reaching an altitude of 32,612 feet—higher than commercial jets fly and taller than the planet's highest peak.

At this height, she endured temperatures that dropped to -58°F and was pelted by hailstones the size of oranges. ⛈️

The lack of oxygen caused her to lose consciousness for nearly 40 minutes, her body encased in ice, flying uncontrolled through the heart of the storm.

Miraculously, she regained consciousness and was able to navigate her damaged glider out of the storm's grip.

After a terrifying ordeal lasting almost three and a half hours, she finally landed over 37 miles away from where she started.

Her only injuries were severe frostbite on her face and ears. Tragically, another paraglider in the same storm was struck by lightning and did not survive.

Ewa's incredible story of survival became the subject of a documentary, a stark reminder of both the power of nature and the strength of the human will to live. 'sPower

A wonderful painting by Alison Friend - a dog secretly stealing food from under the table. 🐶🍽️

This scene is familiar to all of us: the loyal look, the pricked ears and the deft paw that inconspicuously secures a piece of food. With lots of charm and a touch of humor, the image perfectly captures the mischievous character of our four-legged friends.

This beauty is a digitalis campanulata (foxglove). The Latin word digitalis means finger and the blossoms of this flower fit the human finger almost perfectly. But the flowers and leaves are highly toxic, and this plant should not be grown in areas frequented by children.

In 1963, archaeologists uncovered a 2,000-year-old seed in an ancient jar at Masada, a historic fortress in southern Israel. This remarkable find lay dormant until 2005, when Dr. Elaine Solowey successfully germinated the seed, bringing to life a tree named Methuselah. Methuselah, a Judean date palm, represents a variety that was thought to have vanished around 500 AD.
